AOPi site tests finished
Building plans for the Sigma Nu Place lot purchased by Alpha Omicron Pi city are finalized, but a U.S. federal intellectual standing by, AOP's officials said yesterday.
The Lawrence firm, Peters, Williams and Kubota, has completed the original plans for a new building suited for building. The firm also is expected to draw up the house plans, according to Sue Lewis, administrative manager of national organization in Nashville, Teh.
Williams and Kubota, they had not yet been notified of further plans concerning the property.
"We were hired to determine whether it be capable to put up a security house in the site and that's as far as it has gotten," he said.
ACCORDING TO Dale Glenn of Peters,
Lewis said the AOP1 executive board would consider a number of house plans at the March 19-23 meeting, then decide which to submit to Glenn.
"Particulars on the plans are really hard to say until the board meets in March," she said.
According to Jenny Struble, the AOPA representative in Topeka, the house would hold about 80 to 90 women and be comparable in size to surrounding fraternity and security houses. Other than housing for the house are still unknown, she said.
LEWIS SAID the house was scheduled to be completed by fall 1981 and that building probably would start this fall after the architect had drawn on his plans.
According to Glenn, drawing up the plans would take about two to three months.

Museum's animal products exhibit shows endangered species' plight
By KEVIN MILLS Staff Reporter
A jar of sun tan lotion made from sea turtle oil, a can of whale meat in sugar soy sauce, and a shoe made from Tequila guzzles. A new exhibit at the Museum of Natural History.
The plight of endangered animals is examined in "Here Today, Gone Tomorrow?" an exhibition in Dyche Hall.
Most of the items were originally confiscated from travelers at border customs checks by agents of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and the specimens to the University of Kansas in an effort to increase public awareness of laws protecting endangered species.
A coat made from the fur of Gearof the Cats, a rare species of cat found in the South American Andes Mountains, is one of several fashion items in the display.
"It took 21 cats to make that coat," said Ruth Gennrich, public education director for the museum. "There are more skins in there, and there are in museums in the United States."
Gennrich said the U.S. Endangered Species Act (1973) and the U.S. Marine Mammal Protection Act (1972) had done little to limit the number of endangered animals in the United States.
But those acts do not help animals in foreign countries, Gennrich said. International law exists through the 54-nation
Convention on Inter-national Trade in
Animal Welfare Convention
convention law applies only to the import and
animals. The killing or capture of species,
the products thereof, and interstate
imports are not regulated.
The state of Kansas has passed laws protecting the Neosho madison, the greto salamander and several species of fish, Gennrich said.
The black-footed ferret, once abundant in Kansas prairie dog towns, is now considered the most endangered mammal in North America, she said.
